What type of learning disability is this?

I can't learn things at work, can't focus. Always have this thought stream of "I can't do this" & other things similar, in front of me, & it just goes in one ear then out the other. Have verbal IQ of 162, horrific test taker, exceptional spacial and depth perception. Math? Don't even ask. What type of learning disability does this sound like? Thanx.

It sounds like ADHD to me. The math issues I think are something that not everyone picks up on - ADHD involves a lack of working memory that makes mental math difficult. Also the lack of focus (bad test taker, in one ear out the other) is a big indicator.

It could still be dyscalculia/dyslexia as I know there is an overlap with some of the symptoms. It's also important but challenging to find the "why" of the symptoms. Ultimately I think it would be best to go to a psychologist/other doc. who specialises in LD and ADHD, if possible. With that would come a treatment plan, too.

Edit: also, the spatial reasoning may be related to your high IQ, and ADHD may be why you are more intelligent than average yet are so bad at math and focusing/remembering.
